FBI Round-up Nets Prostitution Ring Suspects In Washtenaw, Wayne and Oakland Counties

OAKLAND Crimespotting website give us an up to the minute report of the arrest in this county alone. Pimping and prostititution are overwhelming prevalent in Oakland. I just watched an MSNBC documentary regarding sex slaves and teen trade in Oakland. I could not find a video to post for your viewing. However, I found a recent article of a recent FBI sting across America! This is a very serious issue folks and really needs to be addressed. Teenagers are kidnapped and forced to become sex slaves by these pimps!

Why aren't those Oakland protestors I posted yesterday OUTRAGED about the PIMPS and TEENAGE SEX SLAVES in their city??? Or why aren't they OUTRAGED about the drug dealers and gang bangers? Could it be because this is their bread and butter? Or perhaps their friends or family? Did it ever occur to these Oakland protesters that there are so many cops patrolling Oakland because of the HIGH CRIME RATE, 5th in the nation?!?! Plus, Oakland is predominately African American. If the police are making countless of arrest daily, it would ONLY make SENSE that the criminals they are arresting would be African Americans because Oakland is predominantly African American. Right? If Oakland were predominantly White and ONLY African Americans were being arrested then YES that would signal a red flag and an investigation. But this is NOT the case in Oakland where you are protesting. You are retaliating against the police, even killing them so that YOU can maintain the LIFESTYLE you have become accustomed to without any disruption!!!

One last note, did it ever occur to you that there are NOT enough African Americans who enter the police academy to level the playing field?! If Oakland would recruit more African American police officers, what would your argument be when the African American criminals are being arrested by African American police officers??? None, because the TRUTH about your organization's motives would then be revealed. You don't care about the DECENT hard working citizens in your community. You only care about defending the criminals terrorizing these citizens and you're using the race card to cloak the real issue! Do you think a "Brother" as you put it is NOT going to arrest a "Brother" because he's black? The same still applies, you commit a crime you MUST do the TIME! They will STILL uphold the law and you will come out looking like idiots. By the way, the colonialism term you used has also been frequently used by the African MUSLIM nations such as SUDAN, SOMALIA and KENYA! Does everybody see the connection.

FBI round-up nets prostitution ring suspects in Washtenaw, Wayne and Oakland counties

Authorities found three juveniles and arrested 31 people in Washtenaw, Wayne and Oakland counties during a national initiative aimed at taking down prostitution rings, the FBI announced Monday.

The initiative ran from Thursday through Saturday and was the third such effort nationwide, the FBI said. The most recent effort marked the first time the Ann Arbor Police Department and Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department participated, said Sandra Berchtold, a spokeswoman for the Detroit office of the FBI.

Berchtold said Monday that she could not reveal where the arrests took place or where the juveniles were found. She said she also could not discuss how much of the case was connected to Washtenaw County.

Ann Arbor police said Monday that they assisted in locating two suspects on the city's south side. The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department did not return calls.

The effort, dubbed Operation Cross Country III, took place in 29 cities across the country and resulted in the recovery of 48 juveniles and 571 arrests, the FBI said. In Michigan, one of those under arrest was a ringleader or "pimp," the FBI said.

Berchtold said the people arrested would likely be prosecuted at the state level.

The FBI said in a press release that many prostitution rings are sophisticated and operate in multiple states, relying on the Internet and other electronic media to advertise and solicit customers. In some cases, juveniles are coerced or forced into working for pimps or madams, and are relocated to areas where they know no one, the FBI said.
